Math for Security: From Graphs and Geometry to Spatial Analysis (Paperback)

Use applied math to map fire stations, develop facial recognition software, solve the art gallery problem and more in this hands-on, real-world infosec book.

This book is one of the first math-based guides specifically geared for information security practitioners. Readers will learn how to use concepts from various fields of mathematics--like graph theory, computational geometry, and statistics--to create and implement ready-to-use security tools.

Written with a lively touch and full of engaging examples, every chapter is enriched with code examples written in Python and features practical proof-of-concept projects that involve developing math-based applications to solve real-world problems. Through the author's practical, hands-on approach, you'll quickly learn how to apply the mathematical constructs that you pick up throughout the book to a variety of challenging scenarios, like determining ideal locations for fire stations, disrupting information flow in a social network, building facial recognition software, and designing custom tools for modern security work.

運用應用數學來繪製消防站地圖、開發人臉辨識軟體、解決藝廊問題等等，在這本實踐性的、真實世界的資訊安全書籍中，你可以學到更多。這本書是首批針對資訊安全從業人員的數學指南之一。讀者將學習如何運用來自不同數學領域的概念，例如圖論、計算幾何和統計學，來創建和實施可立即使用的安全工具。書中以生動的方式撰寫，充滿引人入勝的例子，每一章都附有用Python編寫的程式碼範例，並提供實際的概念驗證專案，涉及開發基於數學的應用程式來解決真實世界的問題。通過作者實踐性的、實際操作的方法，你將迅速學會如何將書中所學的數學概念應用於各種具有挑戰性的情境，例如確定消防站的理想位置、干擾社交網絡中的信息流、建立人臉辨識軟體，以及設計現代安全工作的自定義工具。
